Fibery things:

Yesterday I finished spinning 2 ounces of Merino/Silk blend yarn, somewhere between a thin fingering and a thick lace weight, haven’t checked wpi yet . . . and I spun up 2 ounces of bubble gum pink merino top. Funny, but as roving it looks an aweful lot like cotton candy, yum! ;) Both of these are going to become lace scarves, I’m working out the patterns now. I’d like to come up with about 5 different ones . . . the first is an “Old Shale” pattern which I did in the natural white merino. I’m pretty happy with the way it came out, a nice dressy scarf. The next one I’m going to try is a viney/leafy pattern which I think will be really pretty too!

It looks like Friday this week may be a dyeing day around here, just have to dig in the boxes to see if there is anything left to dye ;) Perhaps its time to buy some more yarn! Hmmmm . . .

Today is a bunny brushing day, I’ve got appointments in the back yard when I’m done here. I’ve got one that is starting to blow her coat so she will take a bit longer than the rest and later this week there will be some serious plucking going on.

Actually, I have enough angora piled away that I’m thinking of using it with some of the merino to do one of the scarf patterns I’m working on.

I’m also trying to work through finishing the baby blanket I’m making for my niece. She’s not due until September, but the shower is the end of July and I’d like to have it finished by then . . . . I’m only 2/7th of the way done so I’ve got my work cut out for me there . . . fortunately, now that I’m home I have a bit more than an hour a day that I can work on it!

STILL working on the camera thought, but I may have him off to the store later today if I have my way, keep your fingers crossed ;)
